What is recorded here

Castle Bagshaw still shadows the earthen ring in Corgreagh, though ploughs and field boundaries have cut through much of its deep fosse. The surviving bank and raised floor mark a small fortress where human hands shaped the land before memory faded. A fairy fort is only a ringfort after people stopped remembering the names of those who lived inside it.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 35.2m) enclosed by a wide, deep fosse and substantial earthen bank. Although both bank and fosse have been levelled from E-S-SW and partially replaced by a field boundary from E-SE-S, the outline of the perimeter is still identifiable from S-SW. Original entrance may have been at N. 'Castle Bagshaw' (CV010-008----) was situated either within or in close proximity to the site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
